SSAT Application Service

The Application Processing Service is now open for 2009-2010.

The standard Application for Admission for Independent Boarding and Day Schools has been designed to simplify the admission process for student applicants and the teachers who must complete recommendations. It was developed to make applying to independent schools easier and faster, and it is accepted by most SSAT member schools.

Here's how it works:
